On October 5th, 2021, Sora was announced to be the last DLC character releasing for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was released on October 18, 2021. He is set to also be releasing alongside his home stage Hollow Bastion. According to Sakurai in Sora's reveal trailer, Sora was the real winner of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot back in 2015 for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS; though the contest concluded with Bayonetta being added to the game, Sakurai stated that this was because Sora was not considered a realistic option at the time. He has costumes based on his appearance from Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts III, with an alternate appearance for his Kingdom Hearts design which resembles his look in Timeless River.
Trivia
- Sora is the third fighter in the Smash Bros. franchise to be owned by a company that does not specialize primarily in game development, after Banjo & Kazooie and Steve (all of whom are owned by Microsoft), that being The Walt Disney Company.
- Sora is the first character from a Square Enix developed game to be fully voiced in English, as Cloud, Hero, and Sephiroth are only voiced by their Japanese voice actors (Takahiro Sakurai, Mitsuki Saiga, and Toshiyuki Morikawa), in place of their English actors (Steve Burton, Rasmus Hardiker, and George Newbern).
- Also, as his English voice actor, Haley Joel Osment, is also a screen actor and has starred in several films, most notably Forrest Gump and The Sixth Sense, this also makes Sora the first playable character to have a "celebrity voice actor", as this is often known as.
- Sora is also the fourth Square Enix character in Smash.
